Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful 1999
Corvette Convertible in spectacular condition with only 26,981
miles and the 6-speed manual transmission. I would not hesitate to
hop in this car right now and drive across the country. The 6-Speed
manual transmission is rarer in C5 Corvette. The manual
transmission examples are highly desirable and draw a good premium
over a standard an automatic transmission example. A convertible
with a 6-speed is much more rare and the most prized combination
for a 1999 Corvette. The Sebring Silver Metallic (13) over Black
Leather (193) color combination is truly striking and looks great
on this C5 body style. It is also the correct and original color
scheme as verified by the codes on the service sticker, which is
pictured in this ad. Besides the beautiful color and 6-speed
transmission, this Corvette is loaded with sought-after options
such as sport seats, memory package, dual zone automatic digital
climate control, and much much more.
There is a copy of the AutoCheck vehicle history report, which is
pictured in this ad, it shows no accidents and verifies the low
mileage. I have personally put about 50 miles on this C5
convertible. During that time the car was completely reliable with
absolutely no issues and the car was a pleasure to drive.
We have this Corvette priced to sell and are offering an excellent
opportunity to own a very desirable C5 at an unbeatable value. One
could buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price
in years to come as the market on C5 Corvettes has really turned
the corner and started to rise recently. C5 Corvettes have gone
from simply being older used to cars to become collectable
classics. This is especially true for exceptionally clean, low
mileage, original, and unmolested examples like this Corvette.
The very low original mileage is verified not only by the condition
of the car, but also the clear Ohio title that shows the mileage as
"Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of RPO
codes, and other information to get a true sense of how nice this
Corvette really is.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come
from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Sebring Silver Metallic exterior is in excellent condition. As
one can see in the photos, the finish has dazzling gloss, smooth
finish, and deep shine. The wheels are in great condition with a
brilliant finish and no curb rash. The Cooper tires are literally
brand new with less than 20 miles on them and are correctly sized
245/45R17 in the front and 275/40R18 in the rear. The soft top is
in great shape with no holes or frayed edges. The top left corner
of the window slightly catches the corner of the top, which is very
common on C5 convertibles with original tops. This Corvette has
always been stored indoors. Even the underside on this C5 is very
clean as on can see in the many photos underneath the car.
Interior
The Black Leather interior of the Corvette is in outstanding
condition. The sport seats look great with no rips or split seams.
The seats are not overly worn in the typical area on the bolster
where the driver gets in and out. The gauge faces are clean and
crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is in also in excellent
condition with no stains, rips, or holes. This includes the rear
carpet, which is often neglected. The factory radio works and
sounds great; most importantly the dash has never been cut or
modified for an installation. The dash and console are in great
shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. This Corvette has
never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of
cigarettes.
Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well,
especially for a convertible, and the excellent condition of this
interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention
this Corvette has received throughout its life.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in good mechanical condition. As stated
above I have recently put about 50 miles on this car with no
problems. The LS1 engine starts right away every time. The car
drives magnificently and feels nice on the road and at highway
speeds, it drives just as well as you would expect from a well
maintained sports car with very low mileage. In the video below one
can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph,
shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going
through some curves. Please note that there are no strange noises
or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes
are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The
6-speed shifter is tight, it does not pop out of gear, and the
clutch feels good. This Corvette has plenty of power and is very
fast. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed,
and correct as one can see in the photos. The car is completely
stock besides the wheels, has no mechanical modifications, and it
totally unmolested.
The power antenna works as do the exterior lights, interior lights,
dash lights, fog lights, horn, wipers, indicators, and power
antenna. The blower for the heater and a/c works on all speeds. The
a/c itself works and blows cold. All of the gauges work. The
digital displays on the radio and climate control are not dim and
none of the elements are burned out, which is a common problem on
C5 Corvettes. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure
it is to drive this car, especially with the top down and the
6-speed manual transmission on a beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1999 Corvette 6-speed Convertible looks fantastic and
is in excellent driver condition. The convertible body style,
manual transmission, beautiful original color combination,
excellent condition, and the very low original mileage make this C5
especially important and very hard to duplicate. The convertible
body style, especially with the 6-speed, draws a great premium over
the standard coupes and automatics. In my opinion and based on our
experience the fifth generation C5 Corvettes from 1997-2004 are
rising in value and are becoming classics. This is especially true
for premium and low mileage examples like this C5. The value of
these cars is going up and they are solid investments for a
collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years
and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal
effort.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
